Chapter 863 - 815: Angel Army Armament
Now, the development and construction of Nightmare Space and Divine Punishment City can be safely handed over to the Deputy City Lord for management. Da Fei feels deeply gratified. After all, Lord players are supposed to be hands-off shopkeepers.
However, though Elda and Anlicia are both Deputy City Lords, Anlicia doesn’t make Da Fei feel at ease, so once matters here are settled, it’s time to return to Radiant City.
Oh, and the promised Angel Contract can be dealt with together here.
Da Fei goes to the barracks and gathers all 18 Sailor Angels who have human form. At this moment, Nerxia can’t wait any longer and says, "Master, you’ve now advanced to Divine Punishment Crusader! Please sign the contract with Nerxia!"
Power Angel Anvil is not to be outdone: "Please, master, sign the contract with Anvil!"
This is the legendary double signing! Da Fei laughs heartily, "Come, come, let’s do it together. Nerxia shall go first!"
Nerxia, delighted, immediately pulls out a golden Magic Book. The book flashes, and a golden Array appears on the ground: "Please, master, stand in the Array and use the contract skill, then place your handprint on the Contract."
This process indeed resembles the one when Elifel and Selvia signed the contract! Da Fei laughs heartily and steps onto the Array.
—System Prompt: You have used the Divine Punishment Crusader Professional Skill - Angel Guard. Power Angel Nerxia has become your Contract Angel. Contract Angels do not count towards Command Power.
Ah, it’s that simple! The most straightforward benefit is saving 200 Command Power directly. No, two Contract Angels save 400, which basically means a promotion!
"Ah! Wonderful!" Nerxia cheers, solemnly handing the Contract to Da Fei, "Master, this is my Angel Contract, please don’t lose it!"
Rest assured, I will guard it like a savings book! Da Fei laughs heartily, "Don’t worry! Now, Anvil!"
Anvil solemnly performs a ceremony, and the ritual begins again!
—System Prompt: You have used the Divine Artifact Flame Angel Ring. Power Angel Anvil has become your Contract Angel! Note: You must wear this ring to maintain the contract relationship with Anvil.
After solemnly accepting Anvil’s contract, Da Fei lets out a long sigh of relief.
He’s accomplished another task, feeling a great sense of achievement. Time to set off. Wait, there’s still one thing—his friend notifications have been blinking for ages, and he’s ignored them for ages! This is too much. Of course, it’s not entirely his fault—he’s been too busy to stop!
After all, he doesn’t have many friends, it’s just right now to check them one by one from the top:
—Dragon Scale: "Brother Fei! Give us an explanation! We worked hard to capture the Mercury Mine, and your Vice Hero swallowed it all. You’re leaving no road for your brother!"
Oh my gosh! As expected, someone’s looking for trouble! What can I do? Even if I wanted to spit it out, the NPC won’t agree, the Kingdom doesn’t have this rule!
—Shenlan: "Brother Fei went abroad, working hard and bringing glory to the country, Brother Fei is majestic and domineering! Brother Fei, we at Ninth Heaven want to discuss with you the cooperation development of Divine Punishment City. When would Brother Fei have time to talk?"
Whoa, does this count as dancing with the tiger? In the past, I would definitely monopolize Divine Punishment City. But now, times have changed—I really wish for more people to strengthen my workforce, but the problem is, I really don’t know how to bring people over! If I claimed not to have a strategy, would they believe me? Isn’t that offending people?
—Invincible Wei: "Brother Fei! You’re finally back. Brother Hao and Da Bing, trying to avenge Brother Fei’s little secretary, turned red and entered Red Name Village. Now their information is all blocked. I’m passing a message for them. Everyone’s fine, don’t worry, Brother Fei!"
Da Fei shakes his head irritably. You all must not worry me! Dammit, the NPC showers me with rewards while players irritate the heck out of me. That’s why I don’t want to deal with players!
Let’s see the next one.
—Bloodrose Rosa: "Brother Fei, you’ve worked hard. We’re leveling up and farming monsters under the mountain of Divine Punishment City, unable to welcome you. But here’s good news: we’ve found the Banshee Contract you wanted and handed it over to Vice Hero Serbia."
Da Fei suddenly feels happy! The contract returned! Whoa, finally some good news! It means Serbia must have gone back to Radiant City for resurrection! Haha, hahaha! Bloodrose finally pleases me! Ultimately, they have no choice but to respect me—I win them over with virtue.
Da Fei in a very good mood, continues reading:
—Fleeting Blossom: "Hello, Brother Fei. I’ve watched your battles in the European Union Zone, and Brother Fei is so handsome! Good news, with Brother Fei’s help from the excavator, our canal progresses very fast. To thank Da Fei, we’re offering you 25% of our company shares!"
—Bu Feiyan: "Brother Fei, mighty and powerful! On behalf of Star Guild, I express my utmost respect for Brother Fei single-handedly suppressing all of Europe!"
Haha, hahaha! More good news. Ultimately, dealing with female players is not irritating! As for what’s next, it’s surely Little Fang and Little Li.
—Blood Arrow Fragrance: "Brother Fei, you’re incredible, so handsome, you’re a national hero, we love you!"
——Blood Arrow Linglong: "Brother Fei, we’re farming monsters at the foot of the mountain, so we can’t welcome you right now!"
Is this how my wife and sister view me? Why do I feel like I’ve snatched my own wife from myself? What a weird feeling!
Anyway, there’s just too much nonsense to deal with. I can’t reply to everyone individually, so I’ll just send a group reply for now and handle it all slowly later.
Da Fei replied to everyone: "Thanks, everyone. I pulled an all-nighter without rest. As soon as I got back, I couldn’t hold on and fell asleep. Give me a moment to wake up, and we’ll talk later."
Now that things in Divine Punishment City are finally settled, it’s time to hit the road. Everyone, transform!
In that instant, the whole scene was filled with golden ripples and sparkling blood mist. Elifel immediately transformed into a plainly dressed farm girl, while Nerxia became a stylishly dressed female office worker. These two really don’t get along.
As for the others, once the blood mist faded, it was a demon beast free-for-all. Da Fei couldn’t bear to look! But to preserve their potential and not affect the "Creator Angel Army" advancement, I have to endure it.
Da Fei suddenly remembered something. The veteran members’ advancement goal is the Creator Angel Army, but the target for the 33 new members should be "Human Form"! They just got remodeled by Uriel, gaining advancement potential, and also lack one level of Advanced Navigation Skill compared to the veterans, which means they should have significant growth potential, potentially allowing them to learn the Human Form early, right?
Da Fei said to Elifel: "Elifel, we need to set sail in no more than two days, so I’m giving you a task. Try to teach these 33 new members the Human Form within two days. I hope to take everyone out to sea. Do you have the confidence?"
Elifel furrowed her brow but still nodded: "Although the Human Form is a bit early for the new members now, it doesn’t mean they can’t learn it at all. I’ll do my best."
Always! As long as they can learn it, a thousand failures are destined to lead to success.
Da Fei suddenly remembered that the Whip Medal of the Grand Marshal Instructor can be equipped by school NPC teachers, as it is typical NPC equipment. So, he gave the medal to Elifel: "Equip it! Do your best!"
Elifel excitedly said: "Thank you, Sir, I’ll definitely do my best!"
(Note: —— Grand Marshal Instructor’s Whip Medal: S-class strategic treasure, accessory, Command Power +300, can slightly increase the chance of troop or school students leveling up. The equipper suffers a -30% decrease in Basic Physical Strength.)
At this moment, Nerxia coquettishly said: "Gosh, when will you equip me with powerful weapons? That way, I can help you better!"
What the heck! The sensation of a harem competing is truly exhilarating! But when it comes to equipping NPCs and troops, it’s the same old song: I must learn the Lord System’s Tycoon Skill "Armed Forces." Master-level Armed Forces can add five slots to troop equipment.
Back then, Selvia kept clamoring to dress the inappropriate Artillery Emperor in nun attire, but apparently, it never happened due to a lack of funds. Ultimately, the Artillery Emperor went into the battle against Hydra without wearing anything and perished. With a new batch of Leader Angels about to set sail, I must correct this regret. Also, Uriel mentioned that for the advancement of the Creator Angel Army, I need to learn all the Lord System Skills to train troops.
In any case, this time, I must get all the troop equipment together! But the equipment usable by troops is not the same type as what player heroes use. Especially for angel troops of such large sizes, their equipment needs to be specially tailored—
Oh my gosh! I’m so busy I’m going crazy! All the troops here are angels, so there must be Angel Battle Armor here!
Da Fei rushed to Will’s blacksmith shop and asked, "Lord Will, I need 51 sets of Battle Armor for Leader Angel Troops within two days. Can you expedite the work?"
Will cleared his throat: "Warrior Sir, I have them in stock; you can buy them!"
Da Fei hurriedly said, "Show me the goods!"
Will brought up a menu, and sure enough, a row of troop equipment appeared.
——Angel Species Full-body Set: Defense +10, large human-type equipment, requires master-level Armed Forces Skill to equip. Price: 14 Demon Essence (original price 20 Demon Essence).
Ah, spit! Da Fei spewed out a mouthful! Speaking of troop equipment, getting a total defense of +10 is quite decent, but dear me, does it have to be this expensive? Even with a 30% discount on reputation, I can’t afford it!
Seeing Da Fei’s expression change, Will immediately waved his hand: "Sir, no need to say more. I also think these armors don’t suit your troops. Luckily, I’ve collected your dragon skin, and Ms. Reilly harvested your dragon blood, so I’ll challenge myself to quickly make you 51 sets of Dragon Blood Armor with guaranteed attributes you’ll be satisfied with!"
Billbo said excitedly: "Master, I’ll do everything I can to help!"
Will laughed heartily: "Young man, this is an extreme challenge, and it’s the perfect time to hone your forging skills!"
Da Fei rejoiced: "Great! Thanks, everyone, in advance!"
